Salvatore Ferragamo history is one of the most jaw-dropping rags-to-riches stories in luxury fashion — a dirt-poor Italian boy born as the eleventh of fourteen children who somehow went on to build one of the world’s most iconic shoe empires. Born in a tiny southern Italian village in 1898, Salvatore’s hunger to create drove him to leave everything behind as a teenager, chasing a dream so far-fetched it seemed impossible. His path would take him from the back streets of Italy to the glittering hills of Hollywood, where the biggest stars of the silver screen would be lining up for just one pair of his shoes — but the real story of how this Italian luxury brand story was born is more complicated, more desperate, and frankly more remarkable than you’d expect. What made this humble immigrant outshine every other shoemaker on the planet? Why did Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Greta Garbo all swear by him? And what dark secret almost destroyed everything before the legend could even begin? Subscribe for more incredible founder stories like this one.

It only I knew I boarded in a pensione a few doors down from the a cute litter shop on Via Tornabuoni. It was Ferragamo. It was 40 years before the street became a curated Rodeo Drive. Wow I would walk past Ferroni Spini every night to sit on the bridge. Smiles because so many of the girls were wearing the wedges. Even the girls who worked on the street at night.
